Among all relational operators the most difficult one to process and
|
1998-04-04 18:32:01 +02:00
|
|
|
optimize is the <FirstTerm>join</FirstTerm>. The number of alternative plans to answer a query
|
|
|
|
grows exponentially with the number of <Command>join</Command>s included in it. Further
|
|
|
|
optimization effort is caused by the support of a variety of <FirstTerm>join methods</FirstTerm>
|
|
|
|
(e.g., nested loop, index scan, merge join in <ProductName>Postgres</ProductName>) to
|
|
|
|
process individual <Command>join</Command>s and a diversity of <FirstTerm>indices</FirstTerm> (e.g., r-tree,
|
|
|
|
b-tree, hash in <ProductName>Postgres</ProductName>) as access paths for relations.

The <Acronym>GA</Acronym> is a heuristic optimization method which operates through

1998-03-01 09:16:16 +01:00
|
|

determined, randomized search. The set of possible solutions for the
|
1998-04-04 18:32:01 +02:00
|

optimization problem is considered as a <FirstTerm>population</FirstTerm> of <FirstTerm>individuals</FirstTerm>.

strongly that a <Acronym>GA</Acronym> is not a pure random search for a solution to a

non-random (better than random).

The <Acronym>GEQO</Acronym> module is intended for the solution of the query
|
|
|
|
optimization problem similar to a traveling salesman problem (<Acronym>TSP</Acronym>).
|
1998-03-01 09:16:16 +01:00
|
|
|
Possible query plans are encoded as integer strings. Each string
|
1998-04-04 18:32:01 +02:00
|
|
|
represents the <Command>join</Command> order from one relation of the query to the next.
|
|
|
|
E. g., the query tree
|
|
|
|

|
is encoded by the integer string '4-1-3-2',
|
1998-03-01 09:16:16 +01:00
|
|
|
which means, first join relation '4' and '1', then '3', and

1998-04-04 18:32:01 +02:00

then '2', where 1, 2, 3, 4 are relids in <ProductName>Postgres</ProductName>.

<Para>

With large <Command>join</Command> queries the computing time spent for the genetic query
|
|
|
|
optimization seems to be a mere <Emphasis>fraction</Emphasis> of the time
|
|
|
|
<ProductName>Postgres</ProductName>
|
|
|
|
needs for freeing memory via routine <Function>MemoryContextFree</Function>,
|
|
|
|
file <FileName>backend/utils/mmgr/mcxt.c</FileName>.
|
|
|
|
Debugging showed that it get stucked in a loop of routine
|
|
|
|
<Function>OrderedElemPop</Function>, file <FileName>backend/utils/mmgr/oset.c</FileName>.
|
|
|
|
The same problems arise with long queries when using the normal
|
|
|
|
<ProductName>Postgres</ProductName> query optimization algorithm.

we have to find a compromise for the parameter settings
|
|
|
|
to satisfy two competing demands:

In file <FileName>backend/optimizer/geqo/geqo_eval.c</FileName>, routine

<Function>geqo_joinrel_size</Function>,
|
|
|
|
the present hack for MAXINT overflow is to set the <ProductName>Postgres</ProductName> integer
|
|
|
|
value of <StructField>rel->size</StructField> to its logarithm.
|
|
|
|
Modifications of <StructName>Rel</StructName> in <FileName>backend/nodes/relation.h</FileName> will
|
|
|
|
surely have severe impacts on the whole <ProductName>Postgres</ProductName> implementation.

<Title>Find solution for exhausted memory</Title>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<Para>
|
|
|
|
Memory exhaustion may occur with more than 10 relations involved in a query.
|
|
|
|
In file <FileName>backend/optimizer/geqo/geqo_eval.c</FileName>, routine
|
|
|
|
<Function>gimme_tree</Function> is recursively called.
|
|
|
|
Maybe I forgot something to be freed correctly, but I dunno what.
|
|
|
|
Of course the <StructName>rel</StructName> data structure of the <Command>join</Command> keeps growing and
|
|
|
|
growing the more relations are packed into it.
|
|
|
|
Suggestions are welcome :-(
